OfficeMax is the place to buy BIC products, if you’re willing to shop online. In an exclusive online deal, a number of BIC pens, pencils and markers are free after MaxPerks rewards. You get free shipping when your order is over $50. If you use cash back sites then you can earn 3% cash back through Ebates, 1% back through Cashbaq and 4% through Shop at Home.

For in-store shoppers, crayons are a nickel, markers are a quarter, plus a number of other products are on sale at great prices. Just to note – some of the other deals, like the OfficeMax brand sticky notes for $5, are available online, but cost more online (the sticky notes, for instance, are $6 online) than what you’d pay in-store; for that reason, I didn’t hyperlink to the individual products.

Additionally, make any purchase at an OfficeMax store now through September 6 and you’ll receive a coupon good for $5 off a $25 purchase at Payless Shoe Source or from Payless.com.

MaxPerks Rewards is OfficeMax’s free loyalty program. Although their website says it is open to businesses or teachers (including homeschoolers), some people say that when they’ve asked at the store they are able to enroll – regardless of whether they teach or own a business.

I was just at Office Max this morning and some of the limits were raised.

Pocket folders – 1 cent – raised from 6 to 12 as the limit

Protractors – 5 cents – limit raised from 3 to 6

Crayons and Markers – I didn't look to see if the limit was raised on these two items, but they may have been since the other 2 items were doubled.

Today I spent 77 cents on 12 folders, 6 protractors (husband's a 9th grade math teacher), and 1 package each of crayons and markers – plan to use them for Operation Christmas Child. I probably should have bought the limit on these – especially the 5 cent crayons!
